Videos of me bracket racing in the CTS

Remove this ad
Well, I was cleaning out my camera and came across the videos from the last time I was racing. I made it to the finals in bracket racing that night and lost to a modified Mustang due to a shitty launch.

These were on a hot and humid August night.

Heres the first one. I think I beat this guy due to my dial in even though he finished first. This was the first round of bracket racing on the night I think. The car was a modified Camaro SS.


This one is of a modified 80s Camaro. Dont know exactly what it had but it sounded pretty mean. Our dial in was about the same but I had a bad launch. You will see him get out in front and then I quickly ran him down.


This one is my favorite. It is against an 80s Camaro RS. He had a V8 and was probably just a 305. He had a full two second head start on me due to the dial in. Watch the huge head start he gets and then watch me run his ass down. I love it!


This last one is painful to watch. This Mustang was pretty modified. I have seen him at the track before. In a straight up race I would get beat down pretty good. I think I had a .5 dial in on him. I probably would have been ok and beat him if I hadnt messed up my launch. This was the final race for the trophy on the night.


Well thats it! Cant wait to get out and race again. Gonna be doin auto-cross this year also. I should have lighter rims so my times should get better. Im hopin to hit 14.3 if I can get a night with optimal conditions.

Re: Videos of me bracket racing in the CTS

All you need to know about autocross is that if you don't spinout you'll never finish last. There'll always be that idiot that overcooks it.
